You might also try your local library system to see what online capabilities they have. Coincidentally, I am currently re-reading the Sword of Shannara, also by Terry Brooks which I downloaded from the NY Public Library. Good stuff...
I think Canadian prices are from when the CAN$ was weaker and haven't adjusted. I've no issues paying for eBooks in US$ vers CAN$, as the money ultimately goes back to the writer somehow!!

My local library does have some eBooks, but nothing by Brooks :-( He has written some good stuff, though I thought the early Shannara books were a little weak, after having previously read the early Eddings books. The Magical Kingdom books have a different feel and a more original idea, which I found entertaining :-)
